S 5377 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to amend the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to establish certain procedures for consideration of appropriation bills, and for other purposes.

This bill amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to impose stricter time limits on the legislative process for annual spending bills. In the Senate, debate on any annual appropriation bill is capped at 20 hours, including all related amendments and motions. In the House of Representatives, members are prohibited from voting to adjourn for more than three days during July until all new budget authority for the upcoming fiscal year has been approved. These provisions directly affect the scheduling and procedural rules governing how Congress passes its annual spending legislation.
